It seems to me that sometimes friendships end because of how we parent… it’s sad, but true. I simply cannot connect anymore with parents who let their kids CIO, or who don’t AP… I respect that they’re doing the best they can, but I don’t want them in my inner circle, you know? I would feel sooo mad if I were you – that my friend, and my brother, were not supportive of my choices. I would not want to be around them, frankly. The only person in my life that didn’t support my choices was my father – and I chose to not expose him to my daily life because of it. I don’t want my kids to think there’s something wrong with the amazing choices I’m making (breastfeeding/cosleeping, etc.) I’m sorry you had to go through all that. That sucks.
